Condition in St Anton
Hello,
I am headed to St Anton, Austria next Wed. morning. It will be my first time riding in the Austrian alps. Can anybody give me suggestions on the best spots to hit, places to party, etc? How are the conditions? I'm looking for advanced to expert terrain, perferably off-piste, but I'm up for anything. I have heard that there are some very dangerous avalanche conditions over there at the moment, so I'm a bit sketched about exploring without knowing the lay of the land. Thanks.

Condition in St Anton
I just returned a week ago.
Two days with poor visibiluty and heavy snowfalls and the rest of the week with great clear skies and powder conditions. The greatest runs for us were dashed (unprepared) red and black ski routes. Ski pistes were either groomed or not chalenging enough (with exception of some black ones). We never made it onto high-alpine touring runs as we did not have guideand the avalanche level was around 4. Nice runs on Rendl side - not labeled side east of Riffel I and R5 Gampen and Kapal was so so only (with xception of 33) Very nice runs of Schindler Spitze (15 and 15a) As far as restaurants, all local cousine are great. One of them was Schindler. Another one was just below the Schindel entry from the creak side. Tiny rustic place some 200 meters past the church on the left hand side (I think it was called Einkehr). Another one was train (or at least the section above ground - could be names something else) Bars on slopes were great. Good food and drinks. In the twon we did Scotty's, Underground, Piccodilly (good from 4:30 or so till 8 or so), Kandahar (fun starts past 1 AM), Bobos (good between Picodilly and Kandahar). You have to flow with the crows or will be left in empty bars. Credit cards are not accepted in many places. St. Christop is good to be visited from slopes (nice ice bar at the base). You can also visit Stuben directly on board by hitting 17 + 1. We went to Lech and area and there were some nice powder runs in there too. Have fun Ian "Chris Stringer" wrote in message om...
